Mathew Dook Memorial Seat
Sue Dook and her family from Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, were devastated when Sue’s first son Mathew died suddenly from a diabetes complication at the age of nineteen. The family collected for a wooden
bench to be sited in park to both remember Mathew and provide a seat for people visiting the park to enjoy in Mathews memory.
Late in 2025 Sue was devastated once again when she was told that the bench had been destroyed by vandalism.
The bench was deemed beyond repair.
Following coverage by the media Harold Payne, Veterans and charity fundraiser learned of the Family’s plight.
Harold who is the proprietor of The Anglia Motel D Day Café which is located on the busy A seventeen at Fleet Hargate in South Lincolnshire , decided to collect for a replacement metal bench in
Mathew’s memory for Sue and the family.
Harold with support from his customers raised the money for a replacement and the new bench has now been put in place .
Harold who can normally be found on the site of the Motel tending to the upkeep of his display of military vehicles and Hawker Hunter aeroplane took the day off and travelled to Scunthorpe to meet
Sue for the first time at the end of April.
